Ten terrible characters
You know the feeling when watching a movie or TV show, a point comes after which we cease to root for the hero and hate the villain and with all our existence we wish for that one annoying, entitled, spoiled, hateful, terrible horrible character to die finally? Or at least to move to somewhere very unpleasant, like Hell, or some kind of negative dimension full of monsters or perhaps Florida.

Doctor Who
One of my favorite shows of all time is such because of how heartfelt, emotional and in touch the characters and dialogue are. Of course my favorite Doctors are 9-11 but they all have some incredible lines that speak to the enormity of Doctor Who. So here I go with some of my favorite lines from the timeless show.

The Batverse
So as someone who really hates Batman, and everything he does in the comics, I also hate the overuse of his existence, his fans and DCs complete and total reliance on such a mediocre character (though that is an entirely different article). Really what I hate is the sweeping aside of truly good and intriguing characters for the Dark Knight. All of his villains and sidekicks are truly more interesting than he is. So I think they deserved some spotlight time.

The Menu
The Menu was truly one of my most anticipated films of 2022, and then we didn’t get to go see it in theaters. So though I was disappointed that I had to watch it on HBO Max I am glad that I finally got to see it. The trailer depicted what seemed to be a satire with the message of “eat the rich” a theme that made it a must watch for us. After watching the film, it was definitely a satire, just not truly the “eat the rich” kind, more like eat the overly intellectual. Which is part of the reason watching people on the internet analyze it to death is hilarious. There really wasn't that much to analyze and that's what I appreciated most about it, it was very straight forward.

Scarlet Witch
Now that the MCU has finally discovered (and wasted) the power of Scarlet Witch the comic book world has caught back up. Her newest solo series is releasing and the world will hopefully get to see the power of the Scarlet Witch again. As far as we know this is going to be an ongoing series, the first granted to miss Wanda Maximoff. Up until now she has only received a limited solo run and a joint solo series with The Vision. We could certainly talk about why it took so long for Wanda to finally get her own ongoing series but I feel like we all know the answer already.

A Man Called Otto
So as I’ve been saying, my husband and I have been catching up on movies from the end of 2022. This weekend's pick was A Man Called Otto. Now I will admit that the trailer looked cute but initial impressions didn’t wow me, we saw it because I will see anything with Tom Hanks in it. That said Tom Hanks was an incredible casting choice and this was such an amazing role for him. He plays a great grumpy old man.
